The Most Powerful Questions You Can Ask Yourself!
Nothing has the power to completely alter perspective,
therefore completely alter thoughts and actions,
and therefore completely alter your life
quite like a question.
Also the quality of the question asked
directly relates to the quality of the answer we receive.
In other words,
the better the question, the better the answer.
One thing that's important to learn about a question
is that a person learns far far more
from the process and the work involved in answering the question,
than they ever learn from the answer itself.
This is the real reason why so many spiritual teachers throughout history,
myself included,
have tended more in the direction of posing important questions,
than simply delivering an answer
to the people who are learning from us.
For this reason,
for this episode today,
I have decided to compile
the top hundred most important questions you can ask yourself.
When you go through and answer
these top 100 most powerful questions that you can ask yourself,
that i've compiled,
my suggestion is that you pause this video
after each question is asked,
to really take some time to look deeply inside yourself
and potentially the universe or the world at large
to answer these questions before moving on to the next one.

and why do I want it?
